This is a bit off-subject, but not really. I just finished reading IDW's More Than Meets the Eye Volume 1 (the first collection for one of the two new ongoing series, as well as the one-shot "The Death of Optimus Prime"). This is the best TF comic I have read in ages. It took some serious cajones to end the war and go with two very different ongoing series, and a semi-humor book in the vein of Giffen & DeMatteis' run on Justice League wouldn't be what I would expect of a TF book, but it works. It really, really works. I would highly recommend checking it out.

"Steel Core" is the name? That figure looks good, if it had been $40 I think I would have bought it, but $80 is too rich for my blood. I appreciate how much thought went into that design, I'd like to experience it, but I just can't see paying that much for a relatively modest-sized figure (it looks Voyager-class), nor a figure that has exposed screwheads.

$83 shipped is cheaper than other voyager sized or even deluxe 3p stuff though. TFC Herc members and that igear Arcee that came out recently, as an example of each.

For me, a lot of it has to do with it being a Fan's Project release. They have yet to let me down.

Right now, I'm so far behind that I haven't even finished the extra material in Last Stand of the Wreckers, but I appreciate the recommendation and am glad you found something in there to enjoy.

Oh, no doubt it's not the highest priced item out there, just that I'm picky, that's why I said it was too rich for MY blood.

Ha! Good point. My carded Wedge says you're right.

Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.

Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.

The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
